He's done it again but in order to know it, you'd have to be reading British news sources. TIMES ONLINE reports:
Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years.That claim was quickly debunked. The man who Allegory was allegedly citing lowered the boom shortly thereafter.
In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”
“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”The bigger issue here is the lack of coverage. Notice this story is from a British publication. The U.S. media once again has been conspicuously and blatantly absent.
Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.
